How To Use Audio Effects in iMovie '11

When I was a kid, I really wished I had one of those nifty voice changer boxes to prank call the pizza place with. Now, I've got something better, and way more convincing. iMovie 11's voice changing feature is what we've been waiting for a long time, and it's sure to add some flair to your home movies. All you need to get started is a video with some audio in it.

To get started, you’ll first need to drag a video clip into the project. Next, mouse over the clip and click on the gear that appears near the start of the clip. From this drop-down menu, select Clip Adjustments.

This will open up the Inspector. From here, click on the Audio Effects selector button.

The dialog box will flip around to reveal iMovie's preloaded sound effects. Mouse over the different effects to try them out, or click on one select and apply it.

And that’s it! This simple trick can be used to spice up any video (or to make a Fred spoof video, if you’re so inclined).
